NFL teams don't let the situation progress to a QB holdout because they know how to negotiate.

Because UNLV said they did pay him and essentially he is getting higher offers

He and his dad say that's untrue. We have no idea what's true.

Yup should be easy to prove who is lying. My bet is on the kid and the dad.

ThEJOKER

No, UNLV hasn't said that as far as I can tell.

UNLV probably can't say anything since NIL is supposed to come from an outside

Exactly, so assuming they fed this information to the media they don't look good

Right. Both sides are telling contradictory stories that justify their own acts.

I'm surprised he is taking so much of the heat. I don't know too many people

Why do you believe Sluka automatically?

lol. Did you see the sentence “if that is really what’s happening…”?

Did you miss the "if that's what happened?"

NIL has never been about guaranteed money... theses aren't employees...

What do you think most of his teammates are "working" for?

Huge Manatee

Problem is most kids coming from high school are worth 0 unless they are 4-5

That's why you have incentive-laden escalators in the NIL deal

Maiava's deal is like that with USC.

The contract isn't with UNLV, it's with some sponsor. He should keep playing.

I'm guessing there is no contract - otherwise he could sue

Huge Manatee
